Nothing like starting a Monday with a call from a doctor who you're having a procedure with in 2 weeks saying your coverage lapsed... because your employer didn't tell you the new cards they sent out had new IDs and group numbers. Crisis averted with an update, but the panic mode is still there 💀

I would like everyone who's still writing OFMD fic to know that their work is one of the few things helping keep my mental health afloat these days. Thank you all for making the world a bit brighter, weirder, hornier, and more beautiful.

I think the best response to today's bts drops is to write more fanfic

The dogs upstairs have been barking or howling for the last 5 hours. I hate their owner for locking them up all day and then having the nerve to paint "Dog Training" all over his truck. How do I know they're locked up? Their crate scrapes the floor over my bed at all hours.

Wow, coming in with a late entry on this, but #OFMD was the first show that made me feel like I just HAD to scream about how great it was with other fans. And getting to do that at cons and comment sections and here has been a total blast!

just gotta give the biggest thanks to all fic writers right now, shit is bleak but I am SO thankful to have these stories for a safe space this week for real

So @chive5.bsky.social sent this awesome freaking Christmas present in the mail, and I love it! Pirate friends are the best!!

If Stede sang Orianthi's "According to You" to Mary at karaoke, would it be a joke or a bitch moment? Either way, I might have to write this somewhere

I don't know why this is so funny to me, but gee, I wonder what could be in this package?

WE GOT TORTURED AND WE SURVIVED

While 2025 certainly kicked my ass, I'm thankful for the fall medical stuff not being worse and for having the May surgery that fixed years of problems. I'm determined to go to therapy in 2026 to process some shit that came up during the October adventure and hope next year is just a little calmer.

friendly reminder that our flag means death exists, for those who finished heated rivalry and are in need of something else sweet and queer to tide you over ❤️ yes i will be annoying about this constantly, get used to it. (and watch ofmd)

I can't find it in my backlog of medical posts, but months ago, someone posted about the mobile game All In Hole being a terrible and hilarious name. I raise you: my GB reading habit

this is just a reminder i occasionally need and it feels like other people might, too: just because people don’t like a thing you do does not mean you can’t like it, or vice versa. it’s very rarely personal and it’s very okay for peoples’ feelings and opinions to differ.

Stolen from the bird app, but I am now 40

I had 2 intended surgeries, the first of which has greatly improved my quality of life

Off to my "birthday party" at my regular karaoke show. I found a dress in my closet from like 2016 and it still sort of fits? And since my confidence is never all that high, here are pics!

I promised my family today that the hockey show is not going to overtake the OFMD fixation. But it is trying to work its way into my brain

HEY #heatedrivalry fans would you like something else queer to tide you over until season two? might i suggest our flag means death? it’s also on crave/hbo! join us 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

the best thing about being a muppets fan is the muppets can't get me too'd. like kermit is NOT in the epstein files

I know most theater people will see "Santa Fe" and think Newsies, but it's been one of my favorite Rent songs since I first saw the movie (and eventually the stage version 3 times)

Explain your username Umm. I'm Katie, I copied this name from the bird app. The Rage Boner part was from making that account in like 2014 to post angry rants about shitty people I had to interact with at karaoke several times a week.

I'm in Central time. Do I really need to start Rent an hour early, or do I just watch Muppet Christmas Carol and start Rent at 9 my time?

unfortunately i fear guys like this are chill with the lgb but can't fathom the tq+, & ofmd was never simply a gay pirate show it was a queer pirate show. it was abundant with experiences and ways of being that rich CEOs will always feel threatened by and never relate to

Oh we love the start of Christmas/birthday week with an "everybody loves you, but nobody likes you" feel. And now the karaoke birthday party is about to be taken over by your RL friend who purposely outdressed you last week and has decided she wants to dress fancy "for pictures".. legit want to cry

I'm finally watching the hockey show, and I was already having YJ crossover thoughts about Hunter, and then fucking Shauna jump scare!

and tiny tim, who was NOT in the epstein files,

Here was the makeup that went with the slightly grumpy holiday look for karaoke tonight. I rarely wear any, but I thought it turned out pretty decent?

Does this outfit I'm putting together for karaoke tomorrow scream "not a Christmas person" or no?

Seriously, how is Rhys so funny in just 3 total lines in The Sheep Detectives trailer?

HEY did YOU know that the ONLY way to improve your mental health this stressful holiday season is to read at LEAST 3 hours of fanfiction smut per day? This is a REAL science fact, provided to you by a LICENSED PROFESSIONAL.

#OFMD AU idea? I just saw a clip of Matteo Lane saying he picked the scariest-looking trainer at his gym, and he turned out to be soft, gay, and Australian. Shift some details around and tell me that isn't a ridiculously sweet GB meet cute!

Is getting a Josie and The Pussycats (2001) tattoo before I get a Rogue & Gambit or OFMD one weird? Probably, but it's being plotted out anyway!

My brother's birthday was right after I got done with my hospital stay. He apparently wasn't happy that he didn't get to do his family birthday dinner despite context explaining so much of why it didn't happen? So I may have pulled a Massive Aggression move?

Freaking out about having no birthday plans for turning 40 in about 2 weeks? No problem! An old friend's wife can just text you an evite for his surprise 40th party next month!

No, Katie, you need to be working, not thinking about a GB Fifth Element AU and debating which of them is LeeLoo!

When karaoke used to be your entire personality (going to 3-4 nights a week for years), does declaring one karaoke night your birthday party even feel special?

Ok, I initially had an idea for aerialist/silks guy Stede, but now I'm seeing videos of like "wet in bathtub wearing jeans" aerialist performances, and I may have to incorporate this into... something... 🥵

How the fuck was Columbus a year ago already?

I finally saw someone I'm not related to in a social setting and outside of my hospital room or parents' house since before surgery!! And it was incredibly norma and awesome!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel. Hard mode? Nah, but this movie did kick-start my fascination with pirates and Muppets from an early age!

A friend sent me this from the bird site, and I'm cackling so hard:

5 games to get to know me! - Left 4 Dead (and 2) - Kingdom Hearts - Donkey Kong Country for SNES - D&D - Splendor And 1 game I'm not allowed to play - Uno (I threatened to light my friend on fire in his car in the parking lot in like 2009... oopsies?)

🎵 Hello, doctor's office, my old friend....🎵 At immediate care for this rash thing. Hopefully I get some answers!

What do you mean they made figures of your favorite episode of The Powerpuff Girls ans now you have to explain them to people for the rest of time?

I know it's only the 1st week of December, but I am already so sick of snow

I'm stealing this from a FB post, but I nearly choked on my bagel laughing. And then the comments going "but she's Asian" just shut up and laugh!

Wake up from your turkey & carb coma, besties. #OFMD is #1. They got that right. collider.com/hbo-max-show...
